According to the GPS modernization, L5 is the third civilian GPS signal, broadcasts in a radio band reserved exclusively for aviation safety services. However, as the code length of GPS L5 is ten times longer than that of GPS L1, the acquisition processing time in GPS L5 takes longer than that of L1. This characteristics make the code phase detected initially change and cause the tracking loop to unlock. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes L5 acquisition schemes for the rapid code phase re-search and the fine doppler determination. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through the simulation results.

This paper analyzes a sequential estimator with flexible structure for rapid acquisition of the m-sequence signals. If the received PN chips stored in the estimator's internal registers as initial loading values include one error, this chip with error can be corrected through multiple local PN code generators to achieve high-speed acquisition performance. Hamming distance between regenerated local PN codes from the proposed system and received PN code is compared with given threshold to choose a possible correct path and to declare success of the code acquisition. Using signal flow graph, average acquisition time that depends on detection and false alarm probability is calculated. By modifying generally used matched filter structure for PN code acquisition, the proposed system provides flexible structure and rapid acquisition process.

In this paper, the performance on the PN code acquisition of DS/CDMA system was analyzed using the Nakagami-m probability density function considered fading environment. The equations on detection probability, $P_D$ and false alarm probability, ($P_{FA}$, decision variables affecting the PN code acquisition time were derived and proved using simulation in order to analyze the performance. In conclusion, It was necessary increasing the gain of PLL for correcting phase errors and improving the acquisition performance of PN code in apply to the rake receiver.

In this paper, performance of a PN code acquisition scheme is analyzed and simulated for a DS/CDMA overlay system where a CDMA user and a narrowband user coexist in the same frequency band. To suppress the NBI, an interference suppression filter is employed at the receiver front-end. From the simulation results, it is shown that the interference suppression filter is very effective for suppression of the NBI and rapid PN code acquisition in a DS/CDMA overlay environment. It is also shown that the one-sided tap number of 5 fur interference suppression filter is sufficient to suppress the NBI.

In this paper, we propose a new code acquisition architecture having the features of low complexity and high speed for the MC-CDMA system. The newly designed searching finger has function of the searcher as well as the finger. The searching finger tests the PN code Phase as the searcher during the initial acquisition, and as the finger after the initial acquisition. The proposed system has reduced the average acquisition time of the PN codes to $T_{acq}$/19 in the 20MHz MC-CDMA system with 75% reduction of H/W complexity.y.

A partial matched filter (PMF) for semi-coherent correlation code acquisition of the DSSS-CPFSK signal is proposed. It is a calculation-reduced structure of the hard-limited signal based FIR filter, yet its code acquisition time is equal to that of the hard-limited signal based FIR filter. The PMF eliminates duplicate calculations by utilizing the characteristic that the hard-limited DSSS-CPFSK signal has same value in several consecutive samples. For example, the PMF can achieve about 95% reduction in gate size, as compared to the hard-limited signal based FIR filter, when the modulation index of the DSSS-CPFSK signal is equal to 1.5 and the sample rate is equal to 40 sample/chip.

Many of the currently used PN code acquisition algorithms detect the phase of the incoming PN signal on the basis of ML estimation principle and utilize statistics grounded in taking inner products. By showing that any set of 2n-1 PN sequences arising in SSRG or MSRG (those typically used in IS'95 implementations) configuration constitutes a linearly independent set and that the number of candidate PN sequences has to equal the dimension of the span of the candidate PN sequences, we prove that the lowerbounding computational complexity involved in any PN code acquistion, utilizing (only) inner product computations at each stage of acquisition, corresponds precisely to those, such as double dwell acquistion circuitries, currently used.

This paper analyzes the signal acquisition performance of the legacy GNSS spreading codes and a polyphase code. The code length and chip rate of a polyphase code are assumed to be same as those of the GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1C codes. The autocorrelation and cross correlation characteristics are analyzed. In addition, a way to calculate a more accurate probability of false alarm for a code with sidelobe non-zero auto-correlation function is proposed. Finally, we estimate the probability of detection and the mean acquisition time for a given signal strength and the probability of false alarm.

In this paper, the coarse acquisition code (C/A code), for civil navigation, of the ranging codes for Global Positioning System (GPS) is studied, simulated and analyzed by using Matlab. We can see with the simulation results that the correctness of the method and feasibility, which is at simulation platform to further study on the real environment of GPS signal, can be confirmed. With using this results, we think, the complexity of tracking the satellite signal environment can be captured, and the performance of satellite receiver will be improved.
